In general, you can just continually press the Enter key to install
the default settings. A directory (default C:\CDROM) containing the
CD-ROM drivers is created during installation. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS files are also modified to include the following lines:
CONFIG.SYS :
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\CDTECH.SYS /D:MSCD001 /UDMA2 /V
AUTOEXEC.BAT :
C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10
IV. Changing Settings
======================
To reconfigure the settings of the CD-ROM driver, use a text editor,
such as EDIT.COM, to modify the previous two command lines in CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT and then restart your computer to activate it.
Changing the CONFIG.SYS file
------------------------------
DEVICE=<path>\CDTECH.SYS /D:<device_name>
The <device_name> is the name MSCDEX will use to find the device
driver. The maximum length of <device_name> string is 8 characters.
Example:
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\CDTECH.SYS /D:MSCD001
Changing the AUTOEXEC.BAT file
----------------------------
MSCDEX /D:driver [/E] [/K] [/S] [/V] [/L:letter] [/M:number]
Example:
C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD001 /M:10
For more information, you can refer to the MS-DOS online help for MSCDEX
by typing HELP MSCDEX.
